Iran has pushed back by a few days its plans to restart controversial nuclear activities, says Tehran's chief negotiator Hassan Rohani.

Tehran initially said it hoped to resume uranium conversion on Wednesday - the day ultra-conservative President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was confirmed.

Mr Rohani said work would restart "at the beginning of the week". Iran's week begins on a Saturday.

The move threatens to derail talks with the European Union.
